Second Video Card
Good Evening --
I have a Dual 2.0 Powermac G5, it already has a video card with two DVI ports on it, but I would like add another card. It can be two DVI ports, but I really only need one. I don't play games, I don't edit movies much, so it doesn't need to be anything special. Currently on my desk I have a 20" cinema display, a 17" sony monitor (both going to the mac) and a dell laptop. I also have a second monitor for the dell wall mounted to the left of the desktop, I want to connect the second input on that (DVI) the mac so I can put up a DVD or TV show on it. I don't consider this to be requiring a great video card, but I don't want something crappy.
Any suggestions on brand/model's I should choose?

System Profiler says Model: Powermac7,3 and CPU PowerMac G5 (3.0). The current graphics card is a radeon 9600 (AGP).
Does the model you listed still apply as the only option?
It MIGHT be possible to reflash a PC card to work on Mac, but that's risky. I would just buy the Mac version.
Remember, if it doesn't say "Mac Edition", it won't work.
